What’s your most used or favourite cliched phrase? Mine is...

[Snooks1971]

It’s as broad as it’s long.

My manager’s go to is “to cut a long story short”. Cue a really long boring story with unnecessary detail.

What’s yours?

Exciting Friday thread topic I know.

It is, what it is. Also, What goes around comes around.

"I'm not being funny but......"

"When shi$ hits the fan...."

If I'm going down, you're coming with me

I dont have a particular one but my dad always says 'ah well such is life'

I also say it is what it is. And, I’m not being funny but...

Take it to the bridge

Or
Let's go, bananas

@CountTessa do you really say the take it to the bridge thing? I couldn’t pull that off and I would sound like a twat

Dh is always saying 'it is what it is' and it winds me up. It's so unhelpful!

I say 'in a nutshell' a lot to stop myself waffling on.

I like to add "and no mistake" to the end of statements.

Suck it up, buttercup. I have a limited amount of patience and a drama filled extended family. There's only so much ear bending I can take, and only so much sympathy I can give.

I totally sound like a twat, but luckily there's a cafe nearby called the bridge so I can just about pull it off. 😀.

I always say "never mind it'll soon be Xmas" I find it comforting as my Nan used to say it. Although in January it doesn't work quite as well as it does the rest of the year haha

“I might as well be dead” - in response to some very minor slight, or enquiry if I’d mind x or y. It’s a reference to my mum’s melodramatic overreactions with which we were all familiar.

We used to say in the Middle East. Life’s a bitch and then you die.

It is what it is (I know people hate it but it's true!)
Not my circus not my monkeys

Well we are where we are.

Everything for a reason
It's all about finding balance

Ah well or he needs a long walk

Back in the day......

Mine is “It is well ... “

I say... “but that’s just me”

Chuck it in the fuck it bucket

My DH says "I don't need your life story" to everything (even if you just asked him to pass the salt). It was funny 3 months ago, now, not so much!

I'm just as bad though, my favourite is "Someone's been on the disco biscuits" (aimed at someone being being a bit excitable or erratic).

@MaxPanic my cat is called Disco (Biscuit) for that reason 😂

What will hold more, will hold less.
When the only container/bag you can find is too big for the object you want to carry.

I use "it is what it is" a lot.
